Are there any applications out there that let you fail-over to the different stream if one is down? For example, if I try to watch/record and an NBC stream that is down I'd like to it go down a list of other NBC streams that could potentially work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Did TVHeadend actually know if an IP Stream was down or was it just tracking those used and utilizing a priority system to select the next available? It's an important distinction because if a stream has priority but is down, it'll continue to try and be used since it won't be flagged as in use since it can't be used. I'm not aware of any software that actually can determine if a stream is bad/not available and dynamically take it out of the pool.
Yes you can scroll thru the list while still watching the original channel you clicked on
My main provider had a user panel that I could select only categories I wanted, and even select which stream for a channel.
try tivimate as it lets u put them in any order so all you do is go up or down to next one
You can do this with TVHeadend, set up multiple sources for the same channel and just configure different priorities for them.
It's been a while since I did this so I forget the specifics, but at one point I did have my home setup configured to prioritize my OTA tuners over IPTV for the national networks.
